    The supervisor of the store and the woman underneath her I've dealt with for years incredibly just rude and fake and do not care. I've dealt with Rent-A-Center and all for 20 years, but 15 of that was from Brunswick store. Then the site went down the other day, and they actually told corporate I was lying, that shocked me because I wasn't. I will absolutely never ever deal with them again. Customer service is a job you choose; if you don't like it, don't make everybody miserable along with you, and I'm not exactly sure what the goal is. If they almost are trying to be mean girls but too old, I don't get it. I really don't, but I would never walk foot in that store again ever after someone who's there for customer service calls you a liar. I never even thought to screenshot it.

    I have been a Rent-A-Center customer for over 30 years. Today I call and told them I needed to change payment date from every week to every two weeks because I changed jobs. They wanted me to pay double price to switch. No I can work with you till your next pay day. Very rude and just asked if I wanted to schedule a pick up for my items. I would not recommend nobody shop at rentacenter. My items will be returned and after 39 years will no longer deal with them or send anybody else their way.

      As someone who works in operations management, I understand that every company has policies and that not every customer interaction is easy. This review is not about Rent A Center's policies or avoiding responsibility for a late payment. I accepted responsibility, paid my balance, and paid the applicable late fee. My concern is with how I was treated by Store Manager Melissa ** at the Carrollton, Georgia location.

      After bringing my account current, I later received court paperwork from the sheriff regarding a filing fee. I called the store for one simple reason: to understand why I was receiving legal paperwork after I had already paid. Instead of receiving a professional explanation, I was repeatedly lectured about what I "should have done." I wasn't disputing the filing fee or asking for special treatment. I was asking a straightforward question. A good leader knows there is a significant difference between enforcing company policy and speaking down to a customer. Accountability and respect are not mutually exclusive.

      What concerned me even more was reading other reviews for this location. My experience does not appear to be isolated. I encourage anyone considering doing business with the Carrollton, Georgia store to read not only the customer reviews, but also the public responses from Store Manager Melissa **. In my opinion, they reflect the same defensive and dismissive communication style I experienced firsthand. The filing fee was never the issue. The issue was the lack of professionalism. A respectful two-minute explanation would have resolved everything. Instead, I left feeling belittled by someone in a leadership position.

      I sincerely hope Rent A Center's corporate leadership reviews the customer service culture at this location. Policies can be explained professionally, and every customer deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, even when difficult conversations are necessary. I will not be returning to the Carrollton, Georgia location, nor can I recommend it based on my experience.

      The Culpeper store is horrible absolutely horrible. I’ve dealt with them for a long time and I have paid off a lot of stuff and I got a few things recently and unfortunately work has gotten slow so I couldn’t really stick to my payments like I want it to. Instead of them being nice about it Blake was totally rude. The store manager he called me a dude and I’m not a dude. I’m a ma’am. He turned around and refused to work with me anymore so I filed a complaint to speak to the district manager Ryan ticket number ** and to date I still have not heard from him, so I hope the corporate sees this and reaches out to me because this is absurd.

      I just wanted to leave a review for everyone can know. At first they seem all nice and sweet, but that’s how they get you. I highly would not recommend this company to anyone but more than ever. Don’t go to the location in Allentown. Trust me. It’s not worth it at all. I had a situation where I was two days late on my payment due to my car being locked. The payment didn’t go through so they thought it was OK to send someone to my house and start banging on my door and my garage. I have my ADT system set up.

      I already made a police report with Hamilton police because now I’m being harassed. I am up-to-date with my account now and they’re still sending people to my house. This is unacceptable behavior, especially when I am a first responder. This is how I get treated!! Once again. I recommend that anyone goes to another place of business., there’s only one girl there a ** girl that wears glasses that is a sweetheart. Everyone else are very unprofessional and rude. Your best option to get something done so is contacting their HR department. That’s what I did. I have a report pending with that location.

      I rented a computer about five or six months ago, and it broke down approximately 17 days ago. I requested support, they came but didn't take the computer, said they would return the next day, and they didn't, so I had to take the computer to the store myself. I messaged the technician, and he was very helpful, but then there were complaints because I pay for insurance for this computer, and the company guidelines state that if you pay for insurance, you are entitled to it.

      So he said he's not going to fix the computer and he's not going to bring me another one, and I'll have to keep paying. I've already sent messages to the store and other providers, and so far, nothing. I need to resolve my issue, so I'm very disappointed as a customer and will not recommend them to anyone after this situation. It's been over 17 days, and I still haven't received a response. I'm simply very disappointed. Don't trust this store.

      I am writing to express my profound bewilderment and frustration regarding a recent financial transaction with Rent-A-Center. On March 6, 2026, my refund, initially valued at a modest $129.32, was inexplicably canceled by the company. Seeking immediate clarification, I contacted Rent-A-Center to understand the rationale behind this cancellation. The lack of transparency has left me feeling disoriented and thoroughly confused as to why a business would choose to void a refund that was rightfully issued.

      Further compounding my concern, an additional five business days have now elapsed since the cancellation of a more substantial refund, amounting to $129.32. This significant sum was intended to be deposited into my bank account following my decision to cancel a furniture order with Rent-A-Center. The absence of this reimbursement has intensified my feelings of uncertainty, confusion, and a sense of being misled.

      During my recent interaction with the establishment, I was informed that I would need to endure an additional 14-day waiting period for the refund to be processed. Today marks the second day of this extended delay, and still, the funds have not materialized in my bank account. This ongoing situation has led me to believe I am being subjected to a deliberate runaround, as I am not receiving the refund that I was assured would be processed five days ago

      I am done with Rent-A-Center in Hickory off Hwy 70. I tried my best to explain to that woman Amy about something that someone stole off my property couple days ago. I tried get the report from the cop. They told me Rent-A-Center has to go get the report and all that woman could say is it’s my responsibility which I understand I have to pay it off cause the deputy explained that to me. That's not a problem. Will be paid for but I explained to her at Rent-A-Center in Hickory that the deputy I called today told me y'all have to get the report. I can't cause y'all are the victims. Then I explained to that guy other day that I am going to be in the hospital Thursday for my surgery then they taking my gallbladder out. He said he understood but the woman called me about the report a while ago. Said she didn't care about me being in the hospital. Come to her office. I can't my gallbladder.

      Then she said, "I been a manager for my whole life. I don't care what the deputy told you on the phone. You do as you're told. You're responsible to get the report and pay on it." Then I said, "How can I get the papers when they told me you're the victim?" Rent-A-Center has to come get it not me. Then she got hateful with me. Said, "Listen to me. I know more." That’s when I told her, "Look lady I am trying explain everything they told me for you all to go get the report. How hard is that? Like I can’t go anywhere. I am having surgery. Get off your butt."

      She hung up on me. So don’t go to Rent-A-Center in Hickory Hwy 70. Amy is crappy rude. Doesn’t care if you're having surgery. Yelling at me even when I called the deputy back she said that was ugly of her. Told me give them Rent-A-Center number so the deputy can call Amy herself since they got hateful, didn’t want to listen to me, explain even was ugly about me having surgery. She needs lose her job. It’s not like I ain’t gonna pay for the items. You still didn’t have to be mean ugly claiming to be a manager when the guy is the manager. What is wrong with people nowadays?

      I have been waiting a long time to write this review so hear it goes. I had rented a computer from this organization. It was working fine for a few months. It stopped working all of a sudden. I take it into the store I was renting from at the time and they said they will send it in for repairs. I get a call that it's ready for pickup. I go in the store and try it out, it was having the same issues. They send it back for repairs. I get a call the second time that it's back in the store. I go the second time, same issues and they send it back. I get a call for the third time, and you guessed it, it didn't work again. This happened multiple times. I was tired of playing these games with them so I decided to save up my money and purchase a brand new computer from Best Buy. Purchased the Best Buy computer almost six years ago and it still works fine. Moral of the story: Avoid ANY RAC location in the entire world.

      If I could give minus stars I would! I got living room furniture, reclining couch and loveseat from the Crafton, PA store. A few days after receiving the furniture my husband noticed that the couch had a been torn and sewed back together. I immediately called the store and spoke with the manager Randy. He advised he would schedule one of his staff to come out to look at the couch. That took almost a month and several calls. After it was looked at Randy advised me he could order just that piece for replacement, I agreed.

      6 weeks went by with no replacement so I one again called. I was told that he was unable to get the piece and he will swap out the furniture with a different set. That I would not need to make anymore payments and what I did pay would be applied to the new furniture, I agreed. The set I picked had to be special ordered and I was told it would take 2 to 4 weeks to come in. He stated I can keep the current furniture without payment until the new stuff is delivered.

      Another 3 weeks went by so I called for an update just to find out the set I picked out was never ordered. I called customer service and escalated it to the district manager. She was very nice and apologized for the way the situation was handled. I advised her I am done with RAC due to the poor customer service and the couch was now ripping more. My husband and I ended up going to a furniture store and buying a new reclining living room set. My husband received some back pay and it was significant payment. If the situation was handled properly the furniture I had from RAC would of been paid off. Instead they lost a sale and a customer. I have spoken to the district manager regarding a full refund of what I paid toward the furniture. She stated I will receive a full refund within two weeks. Hopefully she is good to her word. Due to this situation I will never use RAC again.

I called another rent a center but I'm not in their delivery area. But the girl did tell me that the other store is franchised and they get to pick and choose who they deliver to. This is all so unfair to me because I am in desperate need of a washer and dryer. So they are discriminating me and there is no reason for it. Someone please help.

Your store employees scheduled pick up for 12/16 as that was the soonest available and prior to the 12/20 move out date. Upon arrival I questioned why a full payment was taken and he said he wasn’t sure and would address it when he returned to the store. I called in and spoke to him again this month and he now says “ well it’s been over a month I can’t do anything about it now”. Absolutely NOT. I asked for the corporate contact information he says well let me see what I can do and I’ll get back to you.

Still had to pay more money before I can pick up my item which wasn't told to me before I filled everything out and paid but that wasn't the biggest problem!!!! I called the store that the agent online told me to call where he put the order and the manager (well he told me he was the manager and turned out he wasn't) told me he was gonna send me everything on my email to fill out and they would have my item ready to be picked up today. (Mind you I live in Texas and was trying to get a generator before the big storm just in case the lights got knocked out).

      After they verified everything so I called back today and the actual manager told me that their store wasn't in my area so I had to go through the store that was closest to me. (Mind you the online agent had my address and put my order to that store). So I called the store close to me just for them to tell me they were out of generators. They got rid of the last ones the day before. Really!!!! I was so mad. Wasted 2 whole day because of their screw up and so now I stayed stuck without a generator (hopefully the light don't go out).

      I have been a reliable Rent-A-Center customer with a strong payment history and a record of fulfilling agreements early. My experience with the Linden Avenue location demonstrated repeated failures in professionalism, transparency, and delivery accountability. After submitting a service request under the Benefits Plus/Liability Damage Waiver protection plan, I was assured more than once that any repair or replacement would continue under my original payoff terms. Instead, I was presented with a new agreement totaling $1,064.84 without proper disclosure or explanation. This was nearly seven times the remaining balance of $153 that I was prepared to pay to complete ownership.

      Throughout this process, it felt as though store-level management expected a direct phone call and an emotional response that could be used as leverage, rather than focusing on resolving the issue transparently. I made a deliberate choice to avoid phone-based confrontation and instead escalated through formal channels to protect my peace and ensure accountability through proper documentation.

      When delivery issues first arose, including delayed follow-through and inaccurate claims about voicemail outreach, I handled the situation appropriately and professionally by relying on written complaints and formal escalation rather than engaging emotionally. It became clear that the store and district leadership expected me to respond emotionally when frustrated, but that is not how I operate, nor is it how I am trained to resolve matters. I am a human being, but I am not conditioned or trained to respond to business disputes emotionally. My approach has always been to address issues through proper channels, remain factual, maintain professionalism, and seek resolution based on the terms of the contract — nothing more, nothing less.

      A key example of the breakdown in store execution occurred when a replacement delivery was scheduled for my 65-inch LG television. When a representative arrived to perform what was described as a “re-delivery” or swap, the individual did not knock, announce arrival, or follow basic delivery procedure. Had I not checked the door on my own, I would not have known they were there. That moment reinforced my lack of confidence in this store’s operational standards and communication integrity.

      Corporate eventually intervened, corrected the agreement to reflect the accurate payoff balance of $153, scheduled a dryer replacement through a neutral manager from another location, and issued a formal apology. I appreciate the correction, but it should not have required escalation outside the store to enforce transparency and service fulfillment.

      My only objective has ever been reasonable: to complete ownership of the items I pay for under the original contract terms, with the expectation that merchandise functions properly and agreements are honored without misinformation, deflection, or personal excuses. I originally intended to continue doing business and invest significantly more into additional products. This experience eroded my confidence in the Linden Avenue location. I will now explore alternative providers for future purchases.

      I strongly encourage Rent-A-Center corporate leadership, compliance, and customer advocacy teams to enforce continued improvements in agreement disclosure, delivery professionalism, contract integrity, and service accountability so that no other customer experiences the same breakdown in communication or improper agreement handling.

      Multiple times these people are told to take payment out of my mom's account in the beginning of the month due to her income and wtf do they do? Try to process it in the middle of the month when the rest of her bills already came out. She lives with me and my children, next thing I next my house is rudely being stalked by their ignorant workers. I try to be nice but Idk how much how more I can take before I snap. They say they will work with you but the consistent phone calls and house visits makes you feel like your on probation.

      Horrible customer service skills. They don't listen when you ask them to reschedule a pick up.. The staff is mean when they deliver. The corporate offices don't care how these people are treating customers. As soon as my TV and chair is paid off this relationship between is over. They lost my business. They are a mess..

      Victor was very nice and respectfully and even pulled the old washer out of the way and showed me how easy the washer was to start it. Thank you. He was very nice and he was fast with the installation.

      I have never been so mistreated in my life. I WILL NOT allow any Rent A Center employee in my home. If they are from my local store they are forbidden from entering. I have been threatened with physical violence, I have been threatened to have all my stuff be taken out of my home and repo'd by the store just because I was a day late on a payment that should have been changed at the date of the contract to the 1st, and they haven't.

      The local store in Bartlesville is rotten. I was threatened by both Kenny and Dustin, and because of them, I will not allow any rent a center employee in my home, I won't have to worry about deliveries because I am going back to Conn's in Tulsa, Oklahoma because I was treated fair, I was treated like a disabled vet and not trash on the side of the road. I am done with this store, I cannot tell you in words how upset I am. I spent my Thanksgiving away from my family, going into panic attacks at my house because how horribly I had been treated. Please look up all the calls on this local store, I swear you will find something, this is a rotten corrupt store.

      My old recliner broke at 510 am. Rent-A-Center gave superb customer service. Finding me a new recliner to have by 430 pm that very day. Rent a center Attleboro, Mass takes care of their customers and they have 5 star employees too.
